Ooh, this is a fun one. Let me try. Just gonna wing it. 1. The heat death of the universe. Realizing that there is a universal death ahead reinforces the preciousness of every moment. We are all tracings in the sand, so don’t trade a miserable life for a temporary legacyhttps://twitter.com/brentbeshore/status/970661400786870272 …

4. Social reality is a Game Of Signals. I grew up very averse to this game, but have learned that there’s no way to opt-out, so we might as well get good at it. Everything we do or say (or not-do or not-say) is a signalhttps://twitter.com/visakanv/status/995352997407281152?s=21 …

5. Assholes - ie selfish people who take advantage of the goodness/neutrality of others - are a real, serious problem, and benign groups of people are generally terrible at handling them (because it seems rude & harsh)https://twitter.com/visakanv/status/976297392440934400?s=21 …

8. Civilisation is an absurd, bureaucratic prison-zoo-farm-circus. Everything from clocks and calendars to nation-states and corporations is an elaborate system of humans regulating humans. You can’t really break free from this jail, sorry

9. “The hardest thing is managing your psychology. Everything else is just pushing buttons and pulling levers.” Related: it’s often easier and more interesting in the short run to self-flagellate (“oh I’m so terrible”) than to actually take action to make things better.

10. Precision. The more precise you are abt what you want, the easier it becomes to get it, and for others to help you. Lots of people actually LOVE helping others if it’s something finite and easy to do; what people are averse to is having to be responsible for other people

11. Laziness is really task-aversion. Calling someone lazy is actually the lazy approach to dealing with the problem of someone being either unwilling or unable to do something
